From the Executive

31 March 2010

by Wayne McTague - Club Chairman

"Greetings to all members of the club, both old and new, from the Executive. What has been a very busy start to the season has seen Junior numbers increase by 5 % and senior numbers up by a massive 60 % (11 teams last year to 17 this year). While this increase has seen us stretched to accommodate everything that goes with setting up the club for the season, we would like to thank everyone for their patience as we move toward another thrilling year of football. The Bexley clubrooms will once again open after games on Saturday as well as Sunday, and Wednesday and Thursday nights, with the addition of EFTPOS and Sky TV. This year Tracy Ager has been appointed Bar Manager for Saturdays. Many thanks to Barry McTague who has held the fort in previous years. To all teams, Junior and Senior, all the best for the season ahead. In what has been our best start to any season the Womens' Premiers, Division 2 and Men's Reserve teams all won their respective pre-season tournaments and the Premier Men's came 6th, whilst the boys 15th Grade side are this weekend competing in the national finals of the Nike Cup competition in Auckland, having won the regional play off 4-0 over Nelson. Go you good things - that's the Spirit!"

After a busy, enjoyable weekend of football at Bexley, a 6-0 thumping of Waimak in the Final capped an unbeaten tournament for our A team - although there was almost a scare in the quarter-finals when a penalty shoot-out was needed to separate Coastal Spirit A and Coastal Spirit B (who finished 6th). Monique Barker (Coastal Spirit A) was named Girls Tournament MVP.

In the boys Tsunami South Island U-19 Tournament, Western retained their title, beating Burnside 1-0 in the Final, after defeating Coastal Spirit A (who finished 7th) in the quarter-final. Coastal Spirit B finished 10th. Mickey Willis of Western was Boys Tournament MVP. Hornby boys won the Fair Play award.
